Overall rank by patents
#12,121
of 50,000 tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 25 granted patents across 4 technology areas, recorded in grant years 2021–2025. Grant-trend analysis is cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search; it does not measure application filings, current R&D, or legal strength. Primary class: B25H (WORKSHOP EQUIPMENT, e.g. FOR MARKING-OUT WORK; STORAGE MEANS FOR WORKSHOPS).
The verdict
According to USPTO PatentsView, MING ranks #12,121 of 50,000 tracked US assignees by granted-patent volume, with 25 patents across 4 technology areas.
MING SHIN Tools Co., Ltd. has been granted 25 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing MING SHIN Tools Co., Ltd. at #12,121 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 3.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in B25H (WORKSHOP EQUIPMENT, e.g. FOR MARKING-OUT WORK; STORAGE MEANS FOR WORKSHOPS). As a Foreign Corporation, MING SHIN Tools Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, MING sits between Medisca Pharmaceutique Inc. (25 patents, rank #12,109) and Multivac SEPP Haggenmueller Gmbh & Co. KG (25 patents, rank #12,117) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 40.5/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 25 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. MING SHIN Tools Co., Ltd.'s 3.6 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 4 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
MING's 25 grants land it in the top 35% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
Patent counts and the Innovation Score measure patenting activity, not commercial success or the legal strength of any patent. Many patents are filed defensively. Verify the status of an individual patent against official USPTO records.
